1988 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1er Cru Classe Pauillac

The 1988 Mouton has an attractive aroma of exotic spices, minerals, coffee, blackcurrants, and sweet oak. Much like the 1989, the bouquet is staggering, but the flavors are distinctly less profound. In the mouth, it is a much firmer, tougher, more obviously tannic wine than the 1989, with medium body and outstanding ripeness. A beautifully made 1988 that will last 20-25 years, its short finish keeps it from being sublime. The 1988 is somewhat reminiscent of the 1985, but with more tannin. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2020.
